Get Adventurous As Toyota Hilux Gets Massive Price Cut Of Rs. 3.6 Lakhs

Toyota has always resonated well with the nerves of enthusiasts since the introduction of Fortuner in the Indian market. And then again emerged the favorite with the current Fortuner, then the Legender, and ultimately with the GR Sports iteration as well. But what was the missing piece? An Adventure ready 4X4 pickup truck. Enters the Toyota Hilux. It has the same heart and soul as the 2.8 liters Fortuner, but with a pick-up adventure-proof built, ready to be customized to taste. And it gets a fresh price cut of Rs. 3.6 lakh as well.

Let's look at the highlights and details of the Hilux

Toyota Hilux 3.6 Lakh Rupees Price Drop

Toyota Hilux Standard 4x4 MT	Rs. 30.40 lakh
Toyota Hilux High 4x4 MT	Rs. 37.15 lakh
Toyota Hilux High 4x4 AT	Rs. 37.90 lakh

The Hilux is available in two trims, the Standard and the High variant. The price of the Standard 4X4 MT variant has been dropped by Rs. 3.6 lakhs. On the other hand, the High MT and High AT have been increased by 1.35 lakh and Rs. 1.10 lakh, respectively. Thus, the Hilux now has a revised starting price of Rs. 30.40 lahks (ex-showroom) and tops out at Rs.37.90 lakhs.

Toyota Hilux: Torque And Horsepowers

Mechanically, the Hilux makes use of the Fortuner's 2.8-liter diesel engine that produces 210bhp and 420Nm of peak torque. The Hilux is equipped with four-wheel-drive as standard and the transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Features

On the inside, in addition to the soft leather upholstery, there is enough space for 5 passengers. Toyota has been exceptionally generous in the convenience of loading the Toyota Hilux with modern features such as:

• 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
• Dual-Zone Auto AC
• Power steering with VFC (Variable Flow Control)
• Steering mounted control and a voice assist
• Electrochromic inside rear-view mirror
• Cruise control
• Privacy glass
• 4-spoke steering wheel
• JBL sound system with six speakers
• Driving modes: ECO and PWR

VERDICT- The adventure pickup truck market is not a crowded place at all. The direct rival and the only one in this segment is the Isuzu D-Max V- Cross which offers similar capabilities. Although the enthusiasts know well about the underlying machinery, Toyota gets the brand name advantage. With this price cut, the Toyota Hilux will definitely sway away some buyers from its rivals, toward itself.
